Data collection
We value the user’s trust in the website and their belief in what it offers and ensure that their information will remain confidential. The website does not collect any personal data unless it is provided to us by participating in any activity that asks the visitor for personal information. The website will collect the necessary personal data when the visitor requests any services or information from the site.
What is meant by personal data is the data received about any identified or identifiable user on the portal. This information is the same which is requested from the individual when he visits a government agency, such as name, address, or phone number.
On the other hand, the website collects information for statistical purposes, such as the number of visitors, date of visit, number of times of previous visits, and most frequently used services, as such data will contribute to knowing how the public uses the website and thus we can constantly improve the services, and the information collected is not centered on a specific user, and is not intended to track any user at all. The visitor may be asked to participate, as he wishes, in opinion polls conducted by the website. Failure to participate will not affect the visitor’s use of the website’s features and privileges.
